This cache is hanging around a spot on segment 1 of the Colorado Trail. This is number 8 (of 8) in the Hanging Around series and is by far the hardest one to get to. But if you want the whole set, you have to get this one.
Parking for this one is at the Colorado Trail trailhead down by the South Fork of the South Platte River. I used a bike to get to the cache location from there. It's uphill all the way but of course you get to ride back down afterwards.

It's about 100 feet from the trail downhill. If you choose the right path, no rock climbing is required.

Please remember to place the log in the lid first. It will make it easier for the next cacher.

 Hints

It really is hanging around. It's a shiny container not on the ground. While there are a million places to hide it, you should find it by a large vertically split rock. It's not on or under any rocks, though. It's not even camoed.

Hiking today with bhob grabbing another trailmix cache, and everything on the way.

Log a little wet, but we could still sign.

Thanks cajrrman! Logged Hanging Around the Colorado Trail from a seventh galaxy using c:geo!

Somehow we completely spaced this one on the way up, but managed to keep it in our sights on the way down. Evgnhiker made the find while I was hanging out on a nearby rock. Thanks for the hide!

I've been looking at this side of the trail ever since I went up the other side a few years ago. With the new TM cache, today was the day. The trail was not as hard as I thought it would be, lots of switch backs to keep the elevation gain manageable. Need the hint for this one as I didn't see it right away. Cheers!
